    My wife and I are frequent diners here. We had a very nice Greek salad and then the special Beef Wellington, which was the best piece of beef we have ever had, with a dressing to befit it. Well worth the price! Our server, Shayna, was terrific in her attentiveness, efficiency and promptness. What set her apart was her wonderful personality and sharing of her own story. She definitely added to the enjoyment of the evening! We got Christmas gift cards for our family, so we’ll be back regularly to use our bonus cards!

    City type food & drinks in the suburbs. Super fun cocktail menu, well curated wine list, great wide selection of savory well portioned quality food. In general, the selection of choices re wine and food is quality over quantity. Totally recommend.
